09 Productivity with Purpose: Stop Being Busy and Start Moving the Needle
Ever end your day feeling totally wiped... but also wondering what did I even accomplish? If you're constantly “doing” but rarely feel like you're getting ahead, you're not alone — and you're definitely not lazy.
In this episode of Rebel to Rise, I'm calling out the busywork trap and diving into what it really means to be productive in a purpose-driven business. We’ll explore how our conditioning keeps us stuck in motion (but not momentum), and how to break free with more intention, alignment, and joy.
I also share my personal story of being the queen of to-do lists — and still feeling like I was falling behind.
✨ You’ll learn:
The difference between traction and distraction — and why your brain loves the latter
How busywork may be a mask for avoidance, fear, or over-conditioning
Why your to-do list might be running your self-worth (and what to do about it)
Human Design insights that explain why you’re stuck in the loop of busyness
How to audit your time, re-align your day, and actually move the needle
